Can't create PROJECT directory ???

Keld Sørensen schrieb:

When I start my Eagle 5.11.0 I have to define the PROJECT directory every

time - it says it's not there, and when I click Yes to create, I get a

message that it can't be created.

 

When I go to Options/Directories then I CAN in fact see the right path, but

I HAVE to Browse and then click OK to get it to work right. When I do it

this way it works till the next time the machine has been shot down and

start again.

 

The project directory is on a NAS-drive and the other directories is on the

C-drive

 

What is wrong here ?

Sounds like something with access permissions or non-permanent network

addresses.

Can you assign a (permantent) network drive letter to the path at the

NAS that contains your data? Then use that to define the EAGLE directories.

That's what I did - here is my path to the MAS-drive:

X:\PRIVAT\KELD\Hobby\Elektronik\Eagle\projects

and here is the path seen in Option/Diretories:

C:\Program Files\EAGLE-5.11.0\projects;

X:\PRIVAT\KELD\Hobby\Elektronik\Eagle\projects

and I HAVE tried to switch the 'C' and 'X' paths - same problem.

If I leave out the 'C' it will still create on on the C-drive when started

- never mind that !

looks like a Windows system (just as a remark, you'd better mentioned

that in the first post).

Did you check if you have full access (and permissions) to eaglerc.usr?

That file is stored in $AppData/CadSoft/EAGLE, and that is where those

directory settings (and many others) are stored.

Are only the directory settings volatile, or do you have similar

problems with other settings? What happens if you try to set the

directory to somewhere else on the local drives?

P.S. In my experience, it's not good to include two paths there;

further, it's better to completely separate program and data (so don't

reference any data files in the programs installation path - if you want

to use those files, copy them to your own paths).
